Compact Cat6a patch cable for tight installs

This 6-inch Cat6a cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link between routers, consoles, PCs or patch panels where space is limited. The short length keeps desk and rack runs tidy while maintaining full 500 MHz bandwidth for 10GBASE-T. It drops straight into existing Cat6 or Cat5e infrastructure with no equipment changes. Ideal for gamers and home-office users who want a stable, low-latency connection without excess slack.

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput over distance

The cable meets the Cat6a standard for 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres at 500 MHz, so performance holds under continuous load rather than only in short bursts. Four twisted pairs around a cross-shaped spline reduce crosstalk during prolonged transfers, streaming or competitive gaming sessions. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts maintain low resistance over repeated mating cycles. Backward compatibility ensures consistent behaviour when mixed with slower segments.

Durable UTP construction with snagless boots

Stranded 24 AWG bare copper conductors and a 6.9 mm outer diameter give the cable flexibility for tight bends behind consoles or inside cabinets. Molded snagless boots protect the locking clips from catching during routing or removal. The unshielded design suits typical indoor environments and PoE injector use. UL and ETL verification plus RoHS compliance confirm the build meets recognised safety and substance standards.

Questions about this item

Does the 6.9 mm outer diameter and 24 AWG stranded copper make the cable too stiff to route behind a desk all day?

The 24 AWG stranded conductors and 6.9 mm diameter keep the cable flexible enough for tight desk routing while the cross-spline maintains pair separation for 500 MHz performance.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this Cat6a patch cable?

You need equipment with standard 8P8C RJ45 ports — such as a router, switch, modem, gaming console, PC, NAS or PoE injector — to plug each end directly into the network.

Will the 500 MHz Cat6a rating work with my older Cat5e patch panel and Cat6 switch without rewiring?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6, so it links at the highest speed both ends support while fitting the same RJ45 patch panel and switch ports you already use.
